ELECTRICITY VS.. GAS.
The Ninth Warders Demand the
Former and Get 1t.

The council committee on gas met
yesterday afternoon and practically fin
ished the work of rearranging the sys-
tenn of lighting the streets of the city i'm
accordance with the recent contracts.
the idea being to give the electric, gas,
gasoline, vapOr and kerosene lights con-
tinuOuS districts so as to afford an Op-
pOrtunity of testing the merits of each.
A delegation from the Ninth ward was
present to protest against the removal
of electric lights. They proved good
kickerS as well as entertaining takers,
and accomplished more than they asked.
Aid. johnson said that while electricity
had been taken away, twO-thirds of the
gas mains ordered were to go into that
territory. He claimed that gas was far
superior to electricity for street light
ing, and that the Ninth ward
ers had nothing to complain of.
r. ii. Graham replied by saying that the
Ninth ward was almost unanimous in
desiring electric lights. He estimated
that the entire ward, instead of part of
it as heretofore, could be lighted by
electricity at 20 per cent. less expense
than the cost of lighting by gas as con-
templated by the committee, and added:
We are much oblined to our friend, Aid.
We feel under Obligations to him for estab-
fishing that casket factory in our ward, and
feel like buying one of the caskets to be pre-
sented to the man who is trying to force us
o take gas when we want electricity.
The unlighted condition of the ward
was explained, and Aids. Erwin and
Kerr added the weight of their influence.
The committee finally conceded every-
thing asked and more too, ordering sixty
additional globe lights and allowing the
present electric lights to remain, besides
locating twelve more above Broadway.
Some of the other additions and
changes we're: Gas to light
Jackson, Jefferson and Quincy streets.
from Third avenue to Broadway. The
sun yapor light is to continue on Second
street. from Twenty-fourth to Twenty
seventh avenues in the Tenth ward, and
forty-five globe lights are to go in above
Lyndale avenue. Hennepin avenue
gets gas from Lowry's hill to Lake
street. The three electric lights on
Franklin avenue, between Twelfth and
Bloomington avenues, are to remain.
The bill of the Electric Light company
for August was cut down from the rate
of $3.50 per light per annum to $50 per
light, the deduction amounting to 1910.
The committee adjourned until the first
week in October

1.-THE WITHERING HAND"
Will be Laid Upon the Wholesale
as Well as Ret i'll Liquor Dealers.


City Attorney Smith has submitted to
the police commission his opinion as to
whether wholesale liquor dealers, brew
ers, bottling houses, ETC., are required
bp the law to take out s., 900 licenses for
the city limits. Mr.. Smith decides in
the affirmative and the license inspector
has been instructed to see that the law
is enforced. Mr.. Smith in his opinion
states that section of an act of the
legislature to regulate the "sale or dis
position of Intoxicating liquors" enacts
that whoever sells, barriers, gives away
or otherwise diSpoSeS of liquor without
having first obtained license shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanOr. Prior
to this the law was that license was
not required for selling Intoxicating
liquors except in quantities less than
five gallons. There were two enact
mentS on the subject of licensing the
sale of Intoxicating liquors pa sed at the
last session of the legislature, one an
amendment requiring license for
selling in quantities less than
five gallons, and the other,
which is the one quoted from, was an
Independent act. 1t is very evident
from this legislation that the law is no
respecter of persons Every person who
sells or otherwise disposes of intoXicat-
ing liquors in this state is subject to the
penalties of the law, unless he obtains
license. This includes dealers, man
ufacturers, druggists Except sales made
by them on physicians prescriptions
and every one else who sells liquor in
the state or within the limits of this
city. Any person can manufacture or
bottle beer anywhere within the city
without license, provided he does not
sell it here. The breweries and bottling
establishments outside the city limits,
or outside the patrol limits, SO called,
would be liable if they sold beer outside
of such patrol limits, for they cannot
obtain a license for that purpose. All
persons who have breweries or bottling
establishments outside the patrol limits
and who bring their goods within the
patrol limits for sale, and make sale of
them within such limits, must procure
license therefor. In order for them to
procure license it will be necessary
for them to establish some place of bust
ness, the limits in which license may be
granted from which to make their sales
and do their business, as the law re-
quires that the license and bond shall
state the particular place from or at
which they do their business and make
sales -

FIRST DAY DELIGHTS
OF the Minnesota Saengerbund-
Great Time at Turner Hail..

Yesterday was red-letter day with
the Minneapolis German singing socie-
ties, and will long be remembered as
the day upon which the fourteenth an
nual saengerfeSt opened. Harmonic
hall, where the sessions will be held.
was handsomely draped and festooned
for the occasion, ard the business places
in the vicinity, particularly by those
conducted by Germans, presented a
pleasing appearance, being gaily decor
ated with flags and bunting. The socie-
ties present yesterday were: The So
ciety FrohSinn, thirty voices; the st.
Anthony Mannerchor, twenty voices:
the West st. Paul Liedertofel, thirty
voices; the Concordia, thirty voices; the
Arion societies, thirty voices, and the
Pioneer Mannerchor, of st. Paul The
East Minneapolis Mannerchor met the
st. Paul societies and the First regi-
ment band at the union depot at 8
o'clock, and there the whole party was
met by the West Minneapolis Turn
verin, headed by the drum corps, and
escorted to the hall to the strains of
inspiring music. A finer looking body
of men have seldom been seen in
Minneapolis and they were greeted
with applause as they passed up the
street. At the hall the scene was
pleasant one. Two or 800 people are
talking at once, old friends greeting
one another, and discussing certain
songs that were to be sung. Here re-
freshments were served, under the
auspices of the Frohsinn society. The
toast, THE Day We Celebrate" was
responded to by II. Enkheim, after
which Charles Fust. president of the
Minnesota Saengerbund, made the adj
dress of welcome. He spoke in Ger
man, and his remarks were received
with bursts of applause. He spoke of
the progress that the Saengerbund had
made in late years. of the good it was
doing, and of the interest people were
taking in it. 1t was good sign to see
so many present, and he hoped to see
many good results from this meeting,
The rest of the afternoon was devoted
to a social meeting, at which several
songs were sung and one or two short
speeches made by representative mem

THE HUSH BANK.
just What the Situation Is---Pros-
poets Better Than Usual.


Relative to- the affairs of the V. G.
Hush bank, now in process of adjust
ment, the statement is made that thus
far so per cent. of the liabilities due de-
positors has been paid. To meet the
notes which matured Aug. l and those
to mature Feb. 1, 1888. there is in the
hands of the trustee, Alfred B. Hush,
considerable property, upon which,
however, it has been impossible to real
iZe. Nevertheless, from present lndi-
cations it is quite evident the assets
are not sufficient to pay more than
20 or 25 per cent. additional, thus
leaving the February notes at least out
in the cold. Every effort has been made
to dispose of the property and other as
sets in such manner as to best SubServe
the interests of the depOsitors, but in
affairs of this character, where the dis
position is, generally, to take advantage
of mans necessities, it has been impOs-
Sible to even force sales or to collect OBJ
legations due the bank, many of them
now long past maturity. But, with the
so per cent. already paid and the balance
OF 20 or % per cent. yet to be realized by
the depoSitOrS, it is clear, noting the out
come ofmoSt failed banks, that they have
Jared far better than the average. From
the best information obtainable, COM
mittee of the depositors is now acting
in conjunction with the trustee, and
together they hope to turn the assets
into money at an early date and at once
thereafter proceed to pay the depOsitors
as far as the cash then on hand will
reach. Since the failure of the bank,
Dec. 20 last, large amount of labor has
been involved in the adjustment, all of
which has been quite satisfactorily ac-
complished by the trustee, A. B. Hush,
and his assistant, John Thornburgh,
neither of whom, however, is at all re-
s,ponsible for the delay in meeting the
conclusion that it is difficult to crowd
collections, and equally so to force sales

assisted by Miss Emma and Elsie
Muller, the Ladies Singing society. the
East Minneapolis maennerehor, Har-
monia society and the Schweizer Cru
tilizein, was decidedly pleasant affair,
and was attended by large number of
prominent ladies and gentlemen,
as well as all the members
OF the different societies attending
the Saengerfest. After 1.-THE Corona
ton March, from the opera "Falkun-
GER" by DanZ' orchestra, Mayor Ames
was introduced, and made the address
OF welcome. The mayor wore hand
some diamond badge of the society, pre-
sented to him by the president. The
mayor made an eloquent address, which
was well received. Hereferred at some
length to the good influence eXerted by
the German element in any community,
and remarked that if other natiOnalities
paid more attention to music and social
pleasures they would be far happier.
The people OF Minneapolis were proud
to welcome the German singers to the
city, and would always greet them with
open arms. The following programme
was then given, each number being rem
dered in an entertaining manner:
Selections from the opera of MARTHA
Misses Elsa and Emma Muller and the Sym
phonia society.
singers Greeting'-H. Buchanan and
the Frohsinn society.
What Joy Thrills My Heart Rabyn)-
Miss Amelia neppe.
Summer song-EaSt Minneapolis manner
Choir.
Following this came the address of
the day, by j. j. Rhomberg, in which he
referred to the early times in Germany
and the history of German music. The
speaker laid especial stress upon the
statement that to succeed at all singing
societies must harmoniZe perfectly.
This was of the utmost Importance, for
nothing of merit could be done when
the members were not friendly toward
one another. AT the conclusion of Mr..
Rohmberg'S address the second part of
the programme was given, as follows:
Ballet waltz Delibes)-The Danz orchestra,
Father Rhine'-Harmonia society.
Duet from 'Martha''-Misses Elsa and En-
ma Muller.

plauSe and encOreS. To-day there will
be no regular programme, rehearsals
and social talk being the order. This
evening there will be a grand concert,

country that the sun ever shone upon, whose
wheat and every species of grain or vegetable
incident to this latitude. Its farmers are
chiefly American and are noted for their ell
ergy and progressiveness. The town enjoys
four daily mails and receives eight freight
trains daily, while the volume of business is
increasing rapidly. The Manitoba road runs
half mile north of the town, which is a
good regulator of the markets. The town.
site is owned by j. c. Henvis, of Paramount,
who is offering large business or residence

hotel for which a liberal bonus is offered;
also one or two general stores, a bank and
